Skarz Sets Sights on Pompey Return

26 February 2015

Early team news as United head for Pompey

Joe Skarz is set to return to the squad as United travel to Portsmouth in Skybet League 2 on Saturday.

The left-sided defender tweaked a hamstring in training last week and was not risked in the 3-0 win over Mansfield last weekend but joined in full training today as the U’s prepared for the game during a three day stay at Bisham Abbey.

“Joe is in with a chance” Head Coach Michael Appleton said. “He won’t be far off but we will just see how he reacts after training today. There are a couple of other knocks and bruises ; Andy Whing took a kick in the Development game on Tuesday but otherwise we are in pretty good shape.

“It’s a game we are all looking forward to. I really enjoyed my time at Portsmouth and I know there will be a tremendous atmosphere but we tend to thrive on those occasions so it should be a very good game.”
